entertainment reporter don sanchez with a look who got the nod and who totally got snubbed. >> a big party at emeryville because pixar had five nominations for toy story 3. hardly any surprises. the king's speech leads all films with 12 nominations. true grit second with ten. there we go. here are the best picture nominees: 127 hours staring james franco nominated for best actor. black swan. the fighter which cease christian bail nominated for supporting role. the kids are all right, annette benning nominated. exception, kristen's favorite. the king's speech. toy story 3 as i say from pixar also chosen for best animated film and best adapted

screenplay. true grit and the low budget gritty owe czar film which none of you saw, winsor's bone. this is the film i picked as my favorite, colin firth sensational as queen elizabeth's father with a stuttering problem. the producers awarded it best picture over the weekend. i picked it for the critic's choice award at the broadcast critics association. i'm a member. but the golden globe award went to the social network. interesting situation to see if the setup changes. social network has the inside but you know what, i'm going to keep cheering for british history if i may. as i say, toy story 3, the top grossing film of the year, loveable characters, wonderful story, visually dazzling. has to win for pixar once again. nominated also for best picture which is what they wanted. also sound and song. it's amazing. >> not the first time an

animated film has been nominated. >> but just the second time nominated for best picture so that's terrific. the other animated film in that category is from dream works how to train your dragon. >> a lot of angle files in the academy voting. you think it's still that way? >> maybe not the academy but certainly the producers had a lot to do. >> and winning could mean what? >> if it's not a big hit it will bring in box office initially for the first month or so but something like toy story 3, it's hard -- well, some people thought maybe ben affleck's film the town might have sneaked in there. i enjoyed it a lot. the other thing i would have liked to have seen nominated in the documentary category was the joan rivers film. i don't know if you saw that or not -- >> painfully honest. >> starting up with no makeup

and going downhill from there. i would see the closest race in that supporting actress category. by the way, they did not nominate the tourist. >> so what are the options? >> february, the 27th on that sunday. we'll see. i don't know there were great films. very predictable. let's hope that doesn't translate into the ratings. it's right here on abc 7. >> go to abc7news.com for the complete list and with don as well with all the nominees. thank you so much for waking up early with us. >> good for me. >> see the oscars here on abc 7. back to news. recapping our top stories, the search should resume within the hour for a missing marin county woman. >> terry mcsweeney live in sausalito with the latest. terry? >> marin county search and rescue teams are beginning to assemble here in sausalito. you can see 'em behind me getting ready. they're fanning out again and i am told they're going to be going back into the hills of sausalito. areas they check last night, they are going to use the light

to hopefully find the woman they're looking for. take a look at her pick, 90-year-old yin chin, last seen at 7:00 yesterday morning as she went on her daily one to two-hour walk. she didn't return. her family called police around noon. the search began but it turned up nothing. sausalito police again going to be researching areas they looked in the dark last night. chin was last seen wearing a black coat, black baseball cap and glasses. her hair was in a pony tail. described as 4 foot 11. she does not speak english, did not have money on her or i.d. or access to money. there's concern where in the heck could this 90-year-old woman be. the search begins again shortly here in sausalito. other top story of the morning, amy holyfield. >> good morning. the light rail system today drug dealers like it. they use it to do their business.

according to the san jose mercury news police are targeting the problem. they've created a special unit. >> you might be able to glean the basis of the story which is the drug dealers use the trains and buses to make deliveries and go with their cohorts and the police department has a special unit now trying to target those people. >> one final look at the weather and you can see from amy's jacket that it's pretty cold this morning. >> uh-huh. >> definitely. temperatures the 30s and 40s. good morning to you but look how much we warm up. around 30, 35, even 40 some areas. look at the 70s clear lake, santa rosa, cloverdale, livermore, san jose, morgan hill, santa cruz 74 where you see the star or the asterisk, that's a record high. even where we have mid to upper 60s like oakland and concord and san rafael at 65. tonight under a clear sky, dry air, ever-drying ground and some

people already turning their sprinkler systems back on. low to mid-40s around bait, oakland and san francisco in the upper 40s to near 50. one more day of record highs tomorrow and the cooler weather starts moving in all the way through the weekend. megan? >> the bay bridge is the place to avoid right now. metering lights on. a backup all the way into the maze so at least a half hour to make your way into the tolls and san francisco. we just got word of emergency road work westbound 80 on the ramp to northbound 101. the left lane is blocked there. that can really cause some slowing if you're heading into san francisco this morning on the bay bridge. bart is going to be your best alternate and there are no delays. >> megan, thank you very much and thank you for joining us for the abc 7 morning news. >> back with a local update at 7:24. join us for the midday news at 11. have a great day and stay connected
